REAL COLEGIO COMPLUTENSE

CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL LAW PROBLEMS:A TRANSATLANTIC PERSPECTIVE (XII Congress Harvard-Complutense)

6th, 7th and 8th October 2014 Harvard Law School

1. Congress Goals

The Congress was jointly organized by the Real Colegio Complutense, the Institu-

te for Global Law and Policy (Harvard Law School) and the Department of Com-

mercial Law at the UCM. The emphasis of this course is the analysis and debate

about some of the key issues in the current regulation and corporate financial

system, comparing the European experience (with special reference to the Spani-

sh situation) with the U.S., as well as the new strategies in negotiation techniques

in corporate and finance. The structure of the Congress tries to promote a fruitful

exchange between all the speakers and provide attendees with information and

materials especially valid with respect to the issues discussed.

2. Congress Potential Attendants

Congress has been prepared considering that the attendees will be mainly young

researchers and university professors and lawyers with expertise in the subjects

treated. For both the monitoring of certain classes and for proper utilization of

the materials to be provided to attendees, it requires a good level of English

proficiency.

3. Materials

An abridged version of the different interventions will be provided to attendees

in advance. Also, after the Congress has taken place, the contributions of all

speakers will be made available to the participants on both websites of Real

Colegio Complutense and Department of Commercial Law (UCM).

4. Speakers and Conferences

The Congress counts with teachers as speakers from Complutense and from

Harvard Law School, well known for their contributions in the areas assigned.

The conferences are conducted in Spanish and English, respectively, with no

interpretation services

5. Place of celebration
